Childlike or childish

In my humble opinion...

-Being childlike has an air of optimism, wanting to pursue joyful pursuits, not worrying too much about the grand scheme of things but living in the moment and wanting to share that happiness with others....
-Being childish is wanting to please yourself no matter who gets trampled or bullied in the process

-Being childlike is openly expressing emotion, wearing feelings on the sleeve, sensitive to hurts and sensitive to comforts, able to be comforted by the ones you trust
-Being childish is throwing a temper tantrum when you don't get your own way and continuing to sulk until you get your own way, making everyone as miserable as you are

-Being childlike is being bonded to the ones that care for you, wanting a connection with parents
-Being childish is clinging to mommy because mommy will always give you what you want, sooner or later, if you whine about it long enough

-Being childlike is following good advice and sound rules even if they seem unpleasant, a child will reluctantly obey bed times and eat vegetables because they trust the person giving the instructions
-Being childish is refusing to listen to any type of advice, unless tricked or bribed, no matter how many consequences you suffer through or inflict on others

-Being childlike is having a fascination for stories, believing the person that says they are fact or fiction, easily accepting the explanations concerning your own existence
-Being childish is thinking that you are the center of your own world and that is all that really matters
